What are standby credit letters? Why have they grown so rapidly in recent years?Standby credit letters are promises of

19、a lender to pay off an obligation of one of its customers in case that customer cannot pay. It can also be a guarantee that a project of customer is completed on time. There are several reasons that standby credit agreements have grown. There has been a tremendous growth in direct financing by compa

20、nies (issuance of commercial paper) and with growing concerns about default risk on these direct obligations banks have been asked to provide a credit guarantee. Another reason for their growth is the ability of the bank to use their skills to add fee income to the bank Another reason is that these

21、have a relatively low cost for the bank.

Selling participations in standbys in order to share risk with a variety of lending institutions.9-14. Why were credit derivative

What is a credit swap? For what kinds of situations was it developed?A credit swap is where t

If the assets are paid off as expected then the option will not be exercised and the bank will lose the premium they paid for the option. A bank can also purchase a credit option which will be exercised if their borrowing costs rise above a specified spread between th
